HC Deb 02 December 1986 vol 106 c565W
70. Mr. Litherland

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on his plans for education maintenance allowances.

Mr. Dunn

My right hon. Friend has no plans to change the system under which local education authorities may, at their discretion, pay grants and allowances to 16 to 19-year-olds in full-time education.
